Classic Etch A Sketch - The World's Favourite Drawing Toy

Childrens Toy Shop > Toys > Activity Toys
from: Flair


We bought one of these classic toys for our 7 year old. It was great for a couple of weeks until the vertical movement jammed. We sent off for a new one from the suppliers but it never arrived. Took three follow up phone calls and an extremely irate fax to get any response from the suppliers who finally supplied a new one nine months after the first one broke!

The quality of new models is not as good as the ones I remember when I was a kid. The plastic is not as strong and is more brittle. It can be cracked if dropped. The mechanism is not as good either. The knobs are more difficult to hold because they're smaller (not just because I'm older!) and are not as smooth in use.

As a toy it's still good fun but I felt let ... Read More:

Symphony in Motion Remote Control Mobile

Childrens Toy Shop > Toys > Activity Toys
from: Tiny Love


We bought this for my son before he was born and used the whole unit until he began to try to pull the animals off. Then, we just took the stick with the mobile off and left the musical control unit in the cot. He is 1.5 years old now and loves to turn the music on in the morning (he really loves the Bach tune, in particular).
Now I am faced with the decision of which mobile to buy for the second child because I cannot take away his little music box - even though he doesn't care about the mobile anymore!

It is a great buy, though. The batteries last for a very long time. I think we've only changed them twice in my son's lifetime!

Thomas & Friends Go Glow Light

I was slightly disappointed that as a night light it was not very bright. Nothing like the picture on the box! However my 2 year old thinks its great, so it serves its purpose in that respect.

Tomy Choo Choo Loop

Childrens Toy Shop > Toys > Activity Toys
from: Tomy


When I first got this, I was initially disappointed at the size. The picture doesn't really give you an idea, and I suppose I was thinking the train itself would be chunky and big. In fact, it's a fair size, but quite dinky. The loop, when setup, is about 12" across and the train is about 3" long.

This is quite entertaining for the kids. Mine got it when she was 9 months old, and she still plays with it, even if it's only for a few minutes at a time.

Praise first - great for teaching them to concentrate (getting the train on the track is difficult for a littl'un), VERY VERY durable (ours has been smashed apart a million times and it always clicks back together again), teaches them ON and OFF (as they get older you can ... Read More:

Tomy Thomas & Friends Sit 'n' Ride

Childrens Toy Shop > Toys > Activity Toys
from: Tomy

January 01, 2004
My eldest son was 2 when his Godmother bought him Thomas. He literally shook with excitement and used it constantly for months. Two younger sisters learnt to walk with thomas and use the box under the seat to store their precious cuddly toys. My youngest will be handed the torch in a few months and I expect a similar reaction to a toy that has stood the test of time.

Tomy : Winnie The Pooh Moonlight Dreamshow

Childrens Toy Shop > Toys > Activity Toys
from: Tomy


It sounds great on paper - soothes your baby to sleep and should they awaken during the night, it is sound-activated and should soothe them back to sleep. But as the other reviewers have said, this was far too loud and the slightest noise reactivated it - it woke the baby up and us in the next room! Aside from this the projected image is unclear (had no idea what it was meant to be) Looking at the box gives you the false impression that all sorts of wonderful images are projected round the room...

Do yourselves a favour and buy the Tomy Starlight Dreamshow, we've been using it 6 months now and it still brings a smile to our babies face when we switch it on for bedtime.

I don't understand how Tomy got it so wrong with this ... Read More:
